Tommy Lee has once again blasted President Donald Trump after the former host of NBC's reality show "The Apprentice" made history Sunday when he stepped over the stone threshold that separates South Korea and North Korea, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to cross the demilitarized zone into the hermit kingdom and meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. En route back to Washington, Trump tweeted: "Leaving South Korea after a wonderful meeting with Chairman Kim Jong Un.

A year earlier, he called the president "a fucking idiot" and said the people who voted for him are "dickheads." After Trump was elected president in November 2016, Lee expressed his disbelief on Twitter, writing: "What the actual fuck is happening?" This past November, Tommy lambasted Trump for blaming California's recent wildfires on poor forest management. "Can you be anymore insensitive you fucking moron" Lee tweeted. Lee admitted in a 2008 interview with CNN that he was not a political junkie and he rarely watched television or listened to news reports. "Man, tell you the truth, I only listen to music," he said.
